Chapter 379
“Go on another hunt with me,” he muttered.
Inside my chest, my heart felt like it was breaking into a thousand pieces. He always felt so incredibly good, so sweet and perfect, but it felt like a cruel trick. It was a beautiful drug I knew I could never truly keep, a physical reminder of the forbidden wall between us.
He could kiss me until my lips were bruised, but at the end of the day, we were still just a secret transaction.
“I can’t, Raphael,” I whispered, my chin trembling as I shook my head slowly against the chair. “I can’t go on another killing spree so soon. My mind… my soul is still too heavy from the last time. I can’t look at that much blood right now.”
It was a lie.
I wanted a little space from him.
A slow, dark smile tugged at one corner of Raphael’s mouth, but his eyes stayed completely serious, locked onto mine.
“It’s not that kind of hunt, Mess,” he murmured, “It’s a sex hunt. The one you snuck into and got caught in once.”
My breath caught flat in my throat. “Oh…” I managed to whisper, my cheeks instantly heating up as the wild memories of that night flashed through my mind.
“Luca, Silvio, and Dante are leaving for Vegas tonight. They’re going to be gone for a few days. There will be no family around to watch us. No secrets to hide from the people in this house. Just you and me, completely alone in the woods full of masked strangers who don’t know our names. We can do whatever we want, and nobody will ever find out.”
